‘NOT TOLERATED’: Man jailed for assault and witness intimidation in Kings Langley

 Published on: 28th November 2024   |   By: Nik Allen   |   Category: Uncategorized

A man has been sentenced to more than four years in prison in connection with a domestic abuse case in Kings Langley.

Joseph Olijynik, of Northall Road, Dunstable, appeared at St Albans Crown Court on Monday, November 25. He pleaded guilty to actual bodily harm (ABH) and witness intimidation in connection with a domestic abuse case that happened between January and April 2024.

He was sentenced on the same day to a total of 54 months in prison – 18 months for the ABH and 36 months for the witness intimidation charge.

Olijynik was also charged with two counts of assault by beating and one count of controlling coercive behaviour. These offences were left to lay on file by the court.

Detective Constable Lee Whale, from Hertfordshire Constabulary’s Domestic Abuse Investigation and Safeguarding Unit, said: “I hope that this sentence will come as positive news for the victim.

“I hope that this conviction and sentence will help to reassure the public and local community that we will support victims by dealing robustly with intimidation offences.

“Domestic violence is something that will not be tolerated in Hertfordshire and we will throw the full force of the law at such offenders.”
